Start as Inherited Baroness

The next day, Simon was awakened by the sound of human voices and unknown birds. He opened his sleepy eyes, muttered dissatisfiedly, then climbed out of bed and stretched.

It was really uncomfortable to sleep in plate armor, my blood was not flowing smoothly, and my whole body ached.

He paced back and forth in the tent a few times with his legs and arms raised, and then he opened the tighter leather curtain and walked out.

At this time, the sky was already bright and the sun was rising, dispelling a lot of the chill.

The camp of the freedmen was bustling with people and smoke was rising from the cooking fires, and it looked full of life.

"Lord Baron! Breakfast is ready. Do you want to enjoy it now?"

Manfrot and several heavy infantrymen were standing vigil outside the tent. He asked respectfully.

"Well, bring it here and get some water to drink. It needs to be boiled." Simon nodded and ordered.

"Yes!" Manfrot responded and went to make arrangements.

Not long after, a fairly sumptuous breakfast was brought into the big tent by several soldiers and placed on a wooden table.

There are white bread, boiled eggs, cheese, wheat porridge and other foods, in addition to a bowl of boiled water.

Simon glanced at it and cast a spell to detect poison. He found no problem and started eating and drinking immediately.

After a while, Sarit suddenly opened the door curtain, stepped in, and reported: "Sir, there are vampires nearby.

Several of the free folk died last night. "

"Huh? Did it just come last night, or was it there before?" Simon put the half-drunk porridge on the table and asked in a solemn voice.

"My subordinates have investigated and found that there were vampires harassing the freedmen camp before, and the patrol also killed a dozen of them.

However, it is difficult to eliminate them. Vampires can transform from humans, and they move at night. They hide deep in the forest during the day, making it difficult to trace their whereabouts. "

Sarit responded immediately, obviously having visited.

“Place some garlic on some tents outside.

There are so many people now, and the visiting troops are outside, so it’s hard to pay too much attention to them.

We can concentrate on dealing with this matter after returning to the leader of Yongyi to ensure that there are no vampires among these free people.

Starting today, you gather two thousand militiamen and train for three days. After that, we will set off on the road. "

Simon pondered for a while and said this.

There are between 20,000 and 30,000 free people in this camp. Under the current living conditions, it is not unusual for more than a dozen people to die a day.

"Yes! Sir! I will organize it right away." Sarit responded and went to do the work.

Simon finished the rest of his breakfast and stepped out of the tent again.

At this time, Mailan walked over and saluted: "Sir, I'm sorry! I slept a little too long."

He and Manfrot took turns leading the vigil, and they separated the night before and after.

Otherwise, just relying on a group of people, unless it is a machine made of iron, no one can survive for a long time.

"It's okay. Have the five hundred spears been sent down?" Simon asked with a slight smile.

"They were all distributed last night, and now among the two thousand militiamen, there are still 700 people who don't have decent weapons.

Only 300 people were equipped with spears and shields, and more than 80 of them were equipped with leather armor.

In addition, there were quite a few of them wearing old cloth armor, nearly half of them. "Mai Lan said respectfully.

"Well, these 700 people can only deal with it by cutting some wooden sticks first. It will be easy to deal with when they return to the Valorous Territory."

Simon nodded and said softly.

As for these temporarily recruited militiamen, it is not surprising that some of them are equipped with inferior armor.

Because free people had the obligation to respond to the lord's call and follow in the war, they usually carried their own weapons and armor.

Even if you encounter stingy nobles, you have to bring your own food.

"Call the Guards and follow me for a patrol," he added.

"Yes! Sir!" Mailan responded loudly, and then immediately went to call the soldiers.

After a while, all the Guards soldiers were assembled. Simon rode a fine war horse and the group came to the market again.

It's obviously a lot deserted here, and the stalls and caravans are less than half of what they were before.

Thanks to this meeting of nobles, many caravans sold out their goods and set off back to the interior.

The remnants of the caravan from Black Bee Town also left with some teams, but they just sent someone to say hello to him.

The caravan leader already knew that Yaxue was going to be Simon's lover. He took Simon's autographed letter and went back to report it to her baron father.

There may be trouble later.

Simon took people around and found no one selling food. They were all sold out. It seemed that everyone could grasp the key points.

There are still some people selling weapons and equipment, but the rest are basically high-quality goods and are worth a lot of money.

"Lord Baron! Take a look! This kind of finely forged sword only needs seven golden eagles, and it will not leave a gap when it hits the stone.

You see this toughness, it can be restored even if it is broken in half, and this structure, even and balanced, not only saves effort when slashing..."

When Simon led people to a weapons dealer's stall, the leader of the caravan immediately welcomed him warmly, showing off a one-handed sword.

He took the sword with great interest, and saw that the sword was as bright as snow, shining in the sunlight.

He nodded, then flicked the sword with his fingers, and a crisp sound lingered.

"The stuff is good, but it's too expensive." Simon said.

"Lord Baron, the price of this sword has been reduced. It was originally sold for eight golden eagles.

If all your guards are equipped with this kind of sword, ordinary chain armor cannot stop its sharpness, and killing the enemy is like chopping melons and vegetables. "

The leader of the caravan introduced him with a smile on his face.

Simon hesitated for a moment, looked at Mailan and Manfrott on his left and right, and sighed slightly: "Buy four.

One for each of you, and give the remaining one to Sarit and Aire."

"Yes! Thank you for the reward, Lord Baron!" Mailan and the other two saluted happily.

No warrior doesn't like good weapons, which can save lives at critical moments on the battlefield.

This finely forged sword is better than the ordinary fine iron sword, and it is naturally more advantageous when fighting against the enemy.

This type of weapon can generally be roughly divided into several standards such as inferior, ordinary, high-quality, excellent, and rare.

The fine iron sword can match the excellent weapon, while the fine forged sword is a little stronger, but it has not reached the level of the rare.

Simon heard that the weapons that can be enchanted must be of excellent quality at least.

There are not many rare weapons, and he has seen very few so far. The two steel swords in the storage column are almost qualified.

There is also an imperial longbow, which is of good quality, but the others are not up to standard.

Even the one-handed sword given by Marquis Val was only of the same level as the finely forged sword sold by the weapon dealer.

Back to the point, Simon took out some golden eagles to pay for four good swords, and gave two to Mylan and Manfrott on the spot.

"My lord, do you want other equipment? I have some cheaper ones here...

Look at these long-handled battle axes, each of which costs only two silver deer, and there are also cheap one-handed swords, three silver deer and zero..."

The leader of the caravan realized that the business opportunity had arrived, and immediately spared no effort to promote it.

Simon picked and chose for a while and thought it was okay. Although it was more expensive than a spear, the items were all good.

"I want a lot, you give me the lowest price, and then I will go over there and choose the one with the lowest price to buy."

He smiled slightly and said slowly.

"My lord! You don't have to look at them, I will definitely give you the most affordable price..."
